I went to a party, mom,
I remember what you said.
You told me not to drink, mom
so I drank sprite instead.
I really felt proud inside, mom,
even though the others said I should've I didn't take one sip,
even though if i wanted to I could've
I know I did the right thing,
mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending,
as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car,
I knew I would get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away,
mom, but I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn’t see me,
and hit me like a load.
As I lay here on the pavement,
I hear the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk,
and now I’m the one who will pay.
I’m lying here dying, mom,
I wish you’d get here soon.
How could this happen to me?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me,
and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say I’ll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, mom,
I swear I didn’t drink.
It was the others, mom.
The others didn’t think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is,
he wasn't told as a kid,
he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I’m feeling sharp pains now,
pains just like a knife.
The guy that hit me is walking,
mom, I don’t think it is fair.
I’m lying here dying, and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry,
mom, tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to haven,
put “daddy’s girl” on my grave.
Someone should have told him,
not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him,
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting short,
I’m becoming very scared.
Please don’t cry for me, mom.
When I need you, you were always there.
I have one last question, mom, before I say good bye.
I didn’t drink and drive, mom, so why am I the one to die?
